I bought my Lumia 920 a couple of months back. In the beginning, I used to think that the battery drains are normal since I read on these forums that it takes about 2-3 weeks for the battery to work fine. So I waited but the battery used to drain anyway. Even on standby and no connection to any form of internet, the battery would drain like almost 5-7% every hour. This is unusual since even my brother owns a 920 and his phone easily gets through the day with more than 60% remaining while my phone, with the same usage, goes down to almost 30%(I fully charge my phone every morning)

So, I called up Nokia and submitted my phone for 'testing' since they wouldn't take my word for it. After two days of wait, they call me up and say that my phone is all fine and I don't need a replacement. I talked to them on the phone and they are pretty adamant on just returning my phone.

Nokia is giving me a hard time, and I need my issue fixed since this phone is off-contract and I paid roughly $650 for it.

This is due to the "Send group as MMS" setting in the phone. So your network thinks that you are sending data as opposed to text. Disable this setting in the phone to avoid extra charges and recover the ones you've had, my carrier (3) refunded me over £30.
I have unlimited data and texts but picture messages are not covered, I don't think they are in any tariff on UK networks. ]]> Nokia Lumia 920 how1ard http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/228041-check-your-bill-see-if-lumia-920-setting-costing-you-money-group-texting.html http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/228039-920-restarting-often.html Thu, 23 May 2013 08:16:41 GMT Hi,

I'm currently using a phone purchased in Sweden on the swedish 1308 firmware. I live in Norway (The country next to Sweden). My phone is just restarting all the time. It's restarted twice in the last 5 minutes.

I have tried to do a factory reset a few times which hasn't solved the problem and it's starting to become a pain because i'm missing phone calls due to it waiting for me to input the sim-card password.

I'm wondering if maybe flashing a Norwegian firmware would give me more stability? For example if i flash the current 1308 from the Norwegian telephone operator Telenor? Or would this cause more problems than it solves?

Thanks for any information. ]]> Nokia Lumia 920 jackbrennan http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/228039-920-restarting-often.html http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/227959-going-my-5th-nokia-lumia-920-a.html Thu, 23 May 2013 05:47:43 GMT *sigh* I love the Nokia Lumia 920 but I am now on my 5th phone (or will be shortly).

I love the Nokia Lumia 920 but I am now on my 5th phone (or will be shortly).

My sad story: I bought the Lumia 920 near launch at Best Buy. The first phone I had was one with battery issues. Wouldn't last me from 8am to 3pm before being dead. Returned it to Best Buy and got my 2nd phone. This phone was a lot better and lasted me until last week when a whole line of pixels right down the middle died. I called ATT and they quickly sent me a new phone the next day. Got my 3rd phone in the mail and I tried it for a few days. This phone seemed to have a blown speaker in the earpiece. I couldn't understand anybody on it because of the distortions due to the speaker being blown. Called ATT and they sent out a replacement phone again the next day. Got that new phone today and thought everything was going well. Was sitting here watching video and stuff and noticed my phone restarted. Ok weird, but maybe it was an update. Thought nothing too much of it and went about my day. Little bit later, I catch in the corner of my eye it rebooting again. Ok something isn't right. I check the updates page and it says it hasn't checked for updates for 4 hours now. So I think it must not be updates but something wrong with the phone. Will have to keep an eye on it this weekend and call on Monday. A few minutes later I wanted to check something so I pick up my phone and it's dead. So I think ok, maybe the battery died even though it had 30% left when I last looked. Go plug it in and nothing from the phone. My computer doesn't respond to it being plugged in at all. Great my 4th Nokia Lumia (2nd ATT Re-certified) phone is dead.

And now while I was typing this the phone finally turned on and my computer beeped. Says 28% battery so why did it shut off? What the heck is going on with this. I am starting to get pissed off because ATT says I only have 89 days left on my warranty but I have 1.5 years left on my contract. I need a phone that isn't going to die every few days. ATT offered me a Galaxy S4 last time I called or a HTC 8X. But I want Windows phone and Nokia has the best software for it. I hate Android but maybe this is a sign I should go Android until my next contract renewal.

Previously, after living a month with this broken functionality, I decided to do a full reset of my 920 to try and fix it. Then the phone got stuck for 8 hours on the gears. Had to use an old firmware backup and re-flash the phone - if I hadn't already downloaded that (Nokia no longer allows downloading these) I would have had to send the phone back to ATT. Then everything restored. Wasted an entire weekend day fighting this. Took a couple of days for all apps to update back to latest versions. OS eventually updated to latest version after about 5 updates.

This fixed my 3rd Party Live Tile updates for about 5 days. Then they stopped working again.

This continual, ongoing issue is really making WP8 useless for me. When Live Tiles don't update, it's really a crippled OS, as so much of the functionality depends on it. When Live Tiles don't work, combined with no notification center, I'd be better off back on the buggy iOS with it's Windows 3.0 interface.... I bought the 920 at launch, and if it actually worked I'd really like it. But I can't keep fighting the OS breaking (and this is my second 920 as the first one burned out it's own battery a few months ago) ]]> Nokia Lumia 920 bsd107 http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/227958-live-tiles-not-working-again.html http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/227957-issue-skype.html Thu, 23 May 2013 05:14:38 GMT Ok so I'm having a weird issue with Skype I was hoping someone could help me with, when in a Skype call on my L920 my FFC is all messed up on the other persons end, it shows up fine on my end when I view myself, also when I use the camera app the FFC works fine also, my wife doesn't have this issue on her L920 so I'm caught between wondering if its the phone or the app. It looks like an old style tv that isn't getting reception, the colors are all funky too.

I don`t know if it its a problem with my phone, but there a certain things that are strange:

1- Apps updates take a reeeaally long time to get to me so when I want to update an App I enter in wpcentral.com to see if there is any new updates.
2- Notification: What is the problem with notification in Windows Phone (All Apps) there is some kind o problem with the OS, because I couldn`t find a Single app that could give me notification instantly. Facebook beta doesn't give me any notification too (the closest I got to good notification is JDB for Facebook and WPcentral App) Itsdagram doesn't give me notification ( it should work?)
3- I still doenst have the update (1309)
4- Messenger with facebook sometimes gets me 20 - 30 min to receive a message.
5- I don`t search for apps in the store, I search through Bing because most of the time the search button finds the app I want that the stores says it doesn't exist.

AND WHERE IS WHATSAPP Update, omg we really need that.

PS: I`m here to tell the bad things but the goods things are much greater :).

First off love my L920, until about 15 minutes ago. It all of a sudden decided to go into constant reboot mode. It has never rebooted the entire time I have owned it (~2 months). I have had basically no issues with it and then all of a sudden, bam! It now constantly reboots only making it to a blue screen before it waits a minute than starts over again, never actually making it to main metro screen.

Leading up to this point the phone was:

40% charge (mostly wireless lately)
varying signal (although signal seems to be bad in my house)
No apps running except IE
Had just sent a text message

I am on ROGERS and have all the latest updates including 1314

Is it bricked, can it be fixed? I did search the forums quickly but found nothing helpful. I was thinking I was going to send it in because the FFC is dusty and the camera takes blurry pics with the normal photo app, so this might be a good reason to send it off.

Any thoughts?
